In “Crime and Consequence” students will explore 3000 years of Jewish wisdom concerning criminal convictions, sentencing, crime prevention, and rehabilitation. They will challenge their thinking, pondering the application of Talmudic principles to real and complex, modern-day cases, and go to the heart of questions such as:

Should we consider testimonies given in exchange for a reduced sentence as reliable evidence?

What is the goal of punishing criminals? Is it to gain retribution for the victim, keep criminals off the streets and safeguard from future crime, set an example and instill the fear of law, or to rehabilitate the criminal and reintroduce him to society?

Is life-without-parole a justifiable penalty? Is it within our right to sentence a man to death? When would these be warranted? Is there a better way?

In Crime and Consequence, students will learn to discover and recover the humanity within criminals, question practices that seem unethical and unfair, and explore ways to prevent crime from ever taking place.

Crime and Consequence is for people who care deeply about humanity, are enraged at injustice, are fascinated by difficult-to-solve real-life scenarios, and are committed to seeing a system that is just and fair to all.
